How do we know Jesus' death was part of God's plan?

Answered in 2 sources

The death of Jesus was prophesied in the Scriptures and fulfilled God’s eternal decree as laid out by the prophets.

The Scriptures repeatedly affirm that the death of Christ was foreordained by God. Acts 3:18 states that all events concerning the Christ must happen according to God’s predetermined plan. Prophets throughout the Old Testament prophesied the suffering and death of the Messiah, signifying that these events were not random but rather integral to God's redemptive purpose. This divine foreknowledge ensures that nothing happens by chance, and the crucifixion of Jesus wasn’t just a tragic event, but a fulfillment of God’s sovereign will and purpose to redeem His people.
